The Argonaute component of the (*) RISC gains endonuclease activity corresponding to a guide strand; that guide stand is a short nucleotide segments cleaved by the Dicer enzyme that allows endonuclease activity to be targeted at matching sequences of mRNA. Fire and Mello discovered, FTP what pathway of post transcriptional gene silencing, best observed in C. Elegans, which involves both ds and si versions of its namesake molecule.
